Revo Supreme Gen 3 Magnetic Weights

4 out of 5 stars

Well, they went and changed the magnetic braking system on the Gen 3 and did not update the manual as to how this works or how to change it. It no longer has the red or green plastic brakes that you slide in or out to adjust the spool. Anone know how to adjust this? I have the outside wheel turned down to Min and it's still too loose for me.

Also, the spool is very noisy compared to my other Gen 1 and Gen 2 Supremes. Checked for burrs or imperfections but didn't see any. Anyone else have this problem or know how to deal with it?

This is a brand new reel.

I just purchased a Revo3 Premier and I am absolutely blown away! I made the transition from spinning to baitcasting with the the Revo S-L over the summer, and I loved it so much that after 4 months I up graded to the Revo SX-L. I was really impressed, everything I loved about the Revo S was made WAY better in the SX! It really took my fishing to the next level. Knowing now how amazing the SX was, I decided to step up to the Premier, and it was the even more incredible than I thought it would be! This 3rd generation of Revo's are turely amazing, if you don't own one... you need to! The Revo Premier is by far the lightest, smoothest, and all around most amazing reel I have ever fished!Point is...if your still fishing a spinning reel because you like to reel with your left hand, do your self a favor; go get a left handed Revo, and prepair your self to be amazed!

Major Disappointment

3 out of 5 stars

I gave this reel 3 out of 5 stars. Keep in mind 60% is not a great score, but I felt 2 was a bit too low. The components are good, the eva knobs are an improvement over last years model, it looks great, so did last years model...Abu Garcia missed it big time on this redesign! The gear box is soOO big that it is terribly uncomfortable to hold 3 fingers in front of the "trigger" on any rod with an ECS reel seat on it; don't even try with an ACS reel seat....I was looking forward to this reel coming out for a while, thank God I didn't order it online before trying it out in a local tackle store. I was going to send Shimano packing since their horrible redesign of the chronarch, but can't do it with this reel.Do yourself a favor and check it out in person to see if it fits your grip on your rod of choice before purchasing. It was a major disappointment to me.

I just received this reel two days ago. I got the left-handed retrieve. This reel cast distance is compared to my daiwa zillion. It matches or even exceeds with the right adjustments. The only problem is the bait selection for this reel. It is kinda difficult to adjust to lighter baits like a weightless senko on it. Other than that, I definitely recommend this reel.
